the problem is multiple males.
the dude likely would have been gobbsmacked if alone but since his um, wingman or wingnut, (whatever you call a secondary arsehole) was about, the show must go on to the bitter end.
men is stupid. add alcohol and voilà.

More likely laying in bed with Sally Hemings, a slave who allegedly bore him 7 children.
I admit to being an admirer of Mr. Jefferson.
We are all flawed.

Cheap excuse. In Jefferson's time there was already a large body of work on the immorality of slavery.
Cops looking for man who hurled vulgarities at on-air CBC reporter

Toronto police are working to identify a man heard hurling vulgarities at a CBC reporter moments after the end of the closing ceremonies of the Pan Am Games.
Charlsie Agro was live on air Sunday night recapping the impressive performance of Canada's female Pan Am athletes when a man shouted an obscenity that's frequently directed at female reporters on the job.
Agro says she tried to chase the man down to confront him, but lost him in the crowd.
She wound up filing a report with Toronto police, who say they're investigating the incident and trying to identify the culprit.
Const. Scott Mills says it's too early to determine whether any charges could be laid.
Agro says the timing of this particular incident prompted her to join the ranks of reporters challenging the vulgar trend, which has been in force across Canada and the United States for months.
Earlier this year, Agro's Montreal-based CBC colleague Jaela Bernstien and Shauna Hunt of Toronto's CityNews both made headlines by confronting men who shouted the insult during their live coverage. One of Hunt's hecklers wound up losing his job over the incident.
CBC Calgary reporter Meghan Grant managed to get one of her hecklers charged with stunting, an offense under Alberta's Traffic Safety Act.
Agro said those confrontations have obviously failed to send the message that such behaviour is unacceptable, adding the location and context of this latest incident was particularly striking.
"On the last night of the Games, to have this sort of unfortunate experience . . . I just don't think it's right that people leave thinking that something bad would happen at a time when we're celebrating all that Toronto's accomplished," Agro said in a telephone interview.
In her discussions with city police, Agro said she obtained permission to share photos of the alleged culprit on social media.
Const. Scott Mills said the exposure on Twitter has led to several tips, but said the investigation is still in its early stages.
Mills said investigators will have to determine what, if any, criminal charges would apply. Such incidents could theoretically be treated as mischief offences under the Criminal Code, but some jurisdictions choose to pursue charges through civil legislation or municipal bylaws. Others may opt not to take any action at all.
"It's safe to say that we're on it, we care, and we're trying to figure out how we're going to go about this," Mills said.
Lawyers have previously said that such heckling incidents generally fall outside the purview of workplace sexual harassment laws, since they involve third parties who are not directly connected to the women's employers.
Agro said the explicit remarks, however, are threatening no matter where they're made and should not be dismissed as a mere prank.
"If this happened to a woman who was sitting at her desk at a workplace and someone said it, I don't think anyone would question it as being inappropriate or wrong."

CityNews reporter may call cops over FHRITP encounter

TORONTO - A Toronto TV reporter may be calling the cops after a random passerby on Tuesday shouted an all too familiar vulgarity at her while she was on-air.
It was around 11 p.m. that a potty-mouthed man leaned into the camera shot focused on CityNews’ Anna Vlachos as she reported from Toronto’s Little Italy and yelled “f**k her right in the p***y” into the camera.
CityNews footage shows Vlachos, who is pregnant, gently push the man back, walk away, and continue the broadcast.
Vlachos told the Toronto Sun Thursday that she is still considering talking with Toronto Police about the run-in. She also said another man hurled the same expression in her direction minutes before she was live on TV and it also happened to her last week.
Vlachos said the man in Tuesday night’s incident seemed “drunk.”
But concern over what will happen to the boor has put Vlachos in a debate with herself over whether or not to get police involved.
“I feel like, what if this guy comes forward ... and feels really bad?” Vlachos said. “I don’t want to ruin his life. That’s why I’m considering the charges. I’m trying to figure out the best course of action at this time.”
On the other hand, Vlachos feels the need to take a stand. She said she will make her decision over the coming days.
In a report on the incident, CityNews pointed to identical incidents recently occurring to several of its reporters.
Criminal lawyer Ari Goldkind said police could possibly charge the vulgar oaf with harassment or being a public nuisance. They could even potentially charge him with uttering a threat.
“It’s a threat to do something very specific, and a threat that is unwanted and uninvited,” said Goldkind. “It is actually an incitement to somebody to do the very thing he has actually said. And more over, it’s a gender-based threat.”
Around this time last year, CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt made headlines after confronting a group of men about shouting the same vulgar expression while she was on-air outside a Toronto FC soccer game.
CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson said Thursday two separate but identical incidents happened to a female reporter in Ottawa late last year.
“But other than that, there haven’t been any incidents with our journalists involving that particular expression,” he said.
A spokesman with Rogers Communications said they “don’t have details to share on specific incidents.”

It must suck to have such poor self esteem and such a sh!tty life that one would have to think about calling the cops or starting a lawsuit because of a comment someone made that threatens no one. Must be a trigger word or something.
They're everywhere and it is about self esteem. There are ALOT of insecure people out there. Like it's stupid, if you don't like what people say then walk away.
But they try and ruin the other persons life, why? Because these people with low self esteems want to feel empowered, empowered because they all of a sudden they have relevance in their lives.
It reminds me of that one episode on cbc last year. This women shamed two men online, and then she got shamed back when one of the men apologized online. She said that she couldn't handle being shamed back because it ruined her life. I laughed at her plight because she was overwhelmed at being on the receiving end. You can't total disregards someone's life and turn around asking for a form a leniency that you never showed
